I had never thought I’d be back in the city I had lived in for three years.
Ten years after moving away from Dortmund my face adorns the city’s busiest shopping street.
All this happened thanks to the renowned photographer, my cousin @sarahkoesterfotografie who you can see in the first shot.
She sent me the photos today making me a proud model and cousin at the same time.
Way to go, Sarah. Cannot wait to attend your gallery exhibit on 5th Ave in the years to come.

It’s like The Devil Wears Prada but German-style. We’re excited to introduce Andreas, our latest team addition to the German Society of Pennsylvania. 👏
🇩🇪 Fun fact: Andreas, nicknamed Ginger, was raised in the same German town where Leonardo DiCaprio’s grandmother lived until she passed away. Comment if you know the answer!
